Ashiru who represent Kudan/Makarfi Federal Constituency lamented that most politicians were corrupt and power hungry.

“It is as if there is a certain brain virus inside government houses that adversely effects the thinking and behaviour of some elected politicians.

“We see what seems to be a good normal person become a governor, and the next thing we know he is behaving differently from the way he did formerly and especially differently from what was expected by those who elected him,” he said.

“This is shown in the way there is no difference between a senator or governor who did an extremely dirty campaign and one who did an honest, positive campaign. Once elected, the two are equal.

“As a consequence, it is not the most honest who gets to win, but the one who does all that is necessary to win.

“So the ones willing to use bad principles have an edge over the ones who stick to good principles and don’t do anything immoral in order to win an election.
